*** PLEASE NOTE ***
Anyone upgrading from version 0.6.62 or 0.6.63 may receive a crash message when they choose to update, this is due to a bug introduced in 0.6.62, the update will work correctly and the crash can safely be ignored. It will not occur on subsequent upgrades.
******************************
New Features
- Ctrl + 1 through Ctrl + 8 can now be used to switch between the QSO Entry window tabs
- Added Xiegu X6200 radio profile
Changes
- Changes to the update system in preparation for 0.7 Alpha releases
Bug Fixes
- DXCC Lookup for Sicily (IT9)
- DXCC Lookup for Scottish Shetland Islands (GM/s)
- DXCC Lookup for Vienna Intl Ctr (4U1V)
- DXCC Lookup for African Italy (IG9)
- DXCC Lookup for Bear Island (JW/b)
- When QSYing to a spot, the change mode command is now only sent to the radio if the current mode differs. On ICOM’s this prevents the radio from changing the current filter option to its default for the target mode.
- Crash during update, the crash occurred due to a bug in 0.6.62. A crash may well occur updating to this version but will not occur in future version updates. If the crash does occur it can be safely ignored.
- On ICOM’s that support setting of the filter option, the current filter is now retained when QSYing to a spot. Filter settings are retained on a per mode basis.
- Cluster filtering on Age was sometimes inconsistent
- On ICOM’s that support setting of the filter option, LSB and USB now retain the same filter option which matches the behaviour of the rig when manually interacting with it.
- Fixes to the Yaesu interfaces for radios from the FT-2000 onwards which are designed to fix the random change of VFO and random enabling of split that some users have reported on the FTDX-10. It seems that some radios were behaving oddly when unsupported commands were received by them. This has not yet been confirmed to fix the problem yet.
- Cluster filtering using spotter locations was not working correctly with POTA Cluster RBN spots.
- Editing a QSO reset the sent and received reports to default
- Fixes for Xiegu G90, X6100 and X6200 radio interfaces
